City connect uniforms are dog shit. 

Stupid black white rainbow crap.  And we totally suck when we play in them.

Yep, he did nothing to upgrade the rotation and stuck with the status quo.  He doesn't get off the hook because of JA (as you know), he still has a stacked farm system he could of traded for pitching but he stood pat.  I'm afraid as a result were going to see more of these types of performances.  I hope I'm wrong.

Yep, agreed. I knew it would eventually come to roost and now as the weather warms the starting pitching is showing it's true colors.

But yeah, they benched Westburg so Frazier could play as well! 

Oh well, they suck tonight. Hopefully they will be better tomorrow!

I miss Gary Throne.  He would make these kind of blow outs more entertaining.

Another Friday night blowout. What else is new?

I know some are still clinging to the hope that our starters are fine though... I hope you are enjoying what you are seeing.

Oh well.

JLC is a sloppy train wreck. I’m 50/50 on Brown. 

I didn't like Kevin Brown at first, but he's grown on me. I wish Gary Thorne was still calling games.

[Tony-OH]

Zimmermann, you don't get to walk off like a boss after you get hit for a bomb of homer the batter before. 

[Baltimorecuse]

Before I go I just want to reiterate, I'll take .500 in July, happily.

It makes me wonder if it's just a cold streak, or is it the 2005 slide?

Nah. That team didn’t have the mojo this one does. Plus the whole Raffy debacle. 

[O's84]

So what time do you think Shaq's DJ session will start, 2am?

That slide involved so many off-the-field issues as well as regressing to who they were as a team.  I don't think all that s^&% is going on with this team. 

I hope.

I don't remember how many years ago it was, but I remember a year when the Orioles introduced gray caps to be worn in road games.

They really weren't bad looking caps, but Cal didn't like them, so they were abandoned very quickly.

Too bad the Orioles don't have any players on the current roster who (A) have the kind of clout Cal had and (B) hate the City Connect uniforms as much as Cal hated the gray caps.

Can’t really disagree. Would be 61-45 heading into August if that happens. 56 games left after July.

Good Lord Zimmerman we really need you to eat some innings and you've already thrown 23 pitches to get 2 outs.
